Best of Earnie: One of the times she made me laugh

Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.

My philosophy is to host with intention, not perfection. How do you let go of perfectionism? Well, you give yourself permission to release old messages you`ve heard from others or things you`ve told yourself.
